This meeting provides an informal space for CEOs to come together to share insight and intelligence on policy and regulatory issues, and to collaborate on shared challenges and opportunities through joint learning, problem‑solving and collective action.
Our current series of CEO Breakfasts creates a dedicated space for CEOs to drop in and engage with the latest policy developments, including updates from external speakers, exchange developments, explore challenges, and strengthen collaborative working.
These sessions will also offer more frequent updates on VODG’s influencing activity and the issues shaping our sector.
Agendas are guided by current developments and updates on major moments in the political calendar. If there are topics you’d like to bring forward ahead of a meeting, we’d love to hear from you!
In September, our CEO breakfast will provide an opportunity to hear from Rebecca Bauers, CQC’s Director of Learning Disability and Autism. This is a helpful chance for members to hear directly from Rebecca on CQC’s priorities and progress against its reform objectives, the resetting of the relationship with providers and learnings from the recent completion of the first local authority assessments.
Do bring your questions for Rebecca to the meeting, or email them to us in advance.

Please note, should you have any accessibility requirements, we will do our best to make necessary arrangements to support you; however, we may require up to four weeks notice, so please list your requirements on the booking form. Closed captions are used as standard in online meetings. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
*Please note that this event is exclusive to member Chief Executives. We are unable to accept substitutes.
